Robin met the Navigators as a student at Penn State in 2003. She was thrilled to join Navigator staff in 2007 and spent her first two years at the University of Arizona. After those two years, Robin choose to go off of staff and worked in a hospital in Pittsburgh for four years. Those years were instrumental in teaching her what it looks like to walk with Jesus for a lifetime. In 2013 she rejoined Navigator staff, excited to help students see the power of Jesus' transformation in their lives. She then spent 6 years at University of California at Davis. As a lover of ice cream, the Penn State Creamery provided all the incentive she needed for her return to her alma mater in 2019!
